Carrie, my therapist is a psychologist but I see him for meditation training (and we deal with the personal material that gets in the way of that). He really doesn’t know anything about ADD. For example, one day when I told him I had trouble executing his suggestion of putting a timer on for an hour, take a break for 5 min, then do another hour of work, etc., he said “you don’t want to”. But then once I started taking meds, I was able to do it. I can still get distracted, but it’s a lot easier to pay attention to the timer when it goes off (and remember to bring it into the same room with me), take a break, and come back for more.

You two are making me look bad, I only cleaned the toilet and sink at work today before leaving, we had to pick up a new mattress and buy a mattress protector, so the evening is gone, no more time for chores. There’s always tomorrow! But my husband decluttered a chair in the livingroom and it’s the first time we’ve seen it in many many months! (I’m scared to look in the boxes in the backroom, have to muster up the courage to ask him if he actually threw anything out).
